My sperm donor has a child from a previous marriage that he has never paid regular support too. I was told once that until that is caught up I won't get anything he may pay. Anyone know anything about this. I actually spoke.. yes that is right spoke to a live person on the phone at CS today and she said it's up to him what case number he gives when he pays. After grilling me about any info i may have on where he is i finally got to give her the little tidbit that there is a warrant out for him on an unrelated probation violation. She said they check clerk records and she would note my file. Anyone wanna take bets on if they can find him in the same county's jail this time??

if he never paid regular support to his first child then you need to put yourself in a position to not even expect it. yes fight for what your child is entitled to receive, fight that he get a real job, fight that he goes to jail if he does not pay but do not ever expect it, do not count on it and find a way to live without it. if he does not want to pay he will find a way, if he goes to jail he will get out and probably still not pay, if the court order him to seek employment and he refuses to comply well he goes to jail then back out he goes. i have seen it so much when a father does not care at all. they don't care to support their child, don't care about jail' don't care what the courts say. eventually maybe in 10 years or maybe 20 they will grow up and pay it and in time to help with college.

oh.. i never expect it. Once in awhile i get on a roll and let myself get all pissed off about it. I think about how hard it can be and think about him living a life without any responsiblities and it irks me to no end. Thanks for your advice!!

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
